THE GREEK SALE | 15

The son of a shipowner and an eminent exponent of the Munich school, though he never studied at the Bavarian capital’s Academy of Fine Arts, Chatzis was an exceptional talent, often rivalling his great teacher C. Volanakis1 (compare C. Volanakis, Sunset promenade with ships in the distance, lot 25). Capturing a tranquil seashore scene with compelling naturalism, Chatzis’s Greek shore is a highly accomplished work distinguished by crisp design, colour sensitivity, romantic feel and excellent compositional balance. Note how the low horizon that gives full value to the spaciousness of the sky is intersected by the vertical

accent of the boat mast to capture the absolute stillness of the hour. Demonstrating great skill in rendering the two groups of people perfectly integrated in their natural surroundings, this fascinating image of beached boats and fishermen at work chants the stories of everyday life on the Greek seacoast. 1. “When you look at his pictures you are reminded of Volanakis”.

A national treasure and an artistic gem by the ‘wandering magician of Greek history’1, this fascinating canvas explores a mythical, ideal world that stirred the artist’s imagination since his early childhood. The scene illustrates the closing episodes of the Trojan War as related by Homer in his Iliad: the death of Paris, the Trojan horse and the sack of Troy. After laying siege to the city for ten years, the Greeks finally took it by ruse rather than force. Pretending to give up their enterprise and embarking in their ships, they left behind an enormous wooden horse in which their best men were hidden. Despite priest Laocoon’s warnings, the Trojans, overjoyed at seeing the siege come to an end, dragged the horse inside their walls. While they feasted that night, the Greeks crept out of their hideout, opened the city gates to their companions and sacked Troy.2 The wealth of detail is a vehicle of initiation into the artist’s vision; a means of rendering more tangible to the spectators’ imagination the world of gallantry and legend they are invited to contemplate. The attacking Greeks on the right foreground are clad in short blue tunics, gold breastplates and helmets and crimson red cloaks, recalling the artist’s representations of Alexander the Great and Byzantine Emperor Constantine Palaiologos (compare Battle of Alexander the Great and Emperor Constantine XI Palaiologos at the walls of Constantinople, Bonhams Greek Sales 16/11/2016 and 24/04/2013 respectively). As noted by Y. Tsarouchis, “this outfit known from the folk woodcuts of Erotocritos and the Roman soldiers in 19th c. post-Byzantine icons, is identical to Italian opera costumes, as designed by famed set designers and, long before them, by such greats as Botticelli and Raphael, when they painted military saints or archangels.”3 Τhe correlation between archaic Greeks, Alexander and Constantine shows how Theofilos, with his instinctive knowledge and keen sense of historical past, could easily migrate from one era to another, capturing bygone glory and heroism as a form of timeless Hellenism constantly reborn in the present. His fascination with the idea of eternal Greece is expressed without having to succumb to historical or topographical accuracy. As perceptively noted by G. Petris when discussing this lot in his book on Theofilos,

“the group of hilltop houses on the upper left corner closely resembles a contemporary village. Most likely, this scene is composed of the artist’s fragmentary recollection of previous representations.”4 There is a distinct sense of home and domesticity in Theofilos’s vision of the faraway past. Myth and history are filtered through the artist’s rich imagination and transformed into the enthusiasm sparked in him by valour and heroic achievement. Gallantry is indicated through the repetition of pictorial and iconographic conventions, an approach to painting rooted in Byzantine and folk tradition and reminiscent of descriptions found in demotic songs. The linear arrangement of the warriors, the symmetry and rhythm of the composition and the impression of an immutable reality, take one even further back to Archaic Greek vase painting where all episodes or figures are generally set side by side in a paratactical presentation like beads on a string. Moreover, the picture’s lengthy title, inscribed on the upper and lower framing band, reflects the painter’s desire to provide a full description of his subject by leaving nothing obscure. On the contrary, the visual act is clearly expressed, while all phenomena are thrust forward to the narrative surface, where they receive even illumination in a flat, continuous present—an approach to representation that is a fundamental structural principle of the Homeric epics.5

14CONSTANTINOS VOLANAKIS (1837-1907)After the inauguration signed in Greek (lower left) oil on canvas 45 x 68 cm.

£20,000 - 30,000€23,000 - 35,000

We are grateful to Professor M. Vlachos for his assistance in authenticating this lot.

Provenance Private collection, Athens. This rich scene of strolling officers, sailors on board tenders and observing local folk is set against a spectacular array of bedecked battleships firing cannon salutes,1 strongly reminiscent of two of Volanakis's most famous compositions that convey a jubilant atmosphere of national elation: The Arrival of Princess Sophia in Phaleron, 1889-1890 in a Private collection, and especially The inauguration of the Corinth Canal, 1893, in three versions, held by the Bank of Greece, the National Bank of Greece and Alpha Bank. The Corinth Canal, which connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Aegean Sea cutting through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth, was a major achievement of the Charilaos Trikoupis governments that revolutionised shipping in the Mediterranean and established Piraeus as a key port in the trade routes to the West. When French engineers completed the four-mile-long canal in 1893 after 11 years of work, they finished a job that only Periandros of Corinth in the 7th century BC and Emperor Nero in the first century AD had previously attempted. Until the canal was built, ships sailing between Piraeus and Italy had to round the dreadful Cape Tainaron (Matapan) at the southern tip of the Peloponnese, adding some 200 miles to their journey. The Corinth Canal was also the subject of another Volanakis masterpiece, The cutting of the Isthmus of Corinth (E. Koutlides Foundation, Athens). 1 The customary gun salute was established as a naval tradition in the late sixteenth century. A warship would fire its cannons harmlessly out to sea, until all ammunition was spent, to show that it was disarmed, signifying the lack of hostile intent. As naval customs evolved, guns came to be fired for heads of state, visiting dignitaries or persons to whom honors were being rendered.

17MICHALIS ECONOMOU (1888-1933)Mega Spileo signed ‘M. Economou’ (lower right) oil on canvas 50 x 60 cm.

£20,000 - 30,000€23,000 - 35,000

Provenance Private collection, Athens. Literature A. Kouria, M. Economou, Adam editions, Athens 2001, no. 93, p. 256 (catalogued), p. 141 (illustrated).

Economou’s Mega Spileo amply demonstrates the artist’s interpretative approach to the natural and man-made environments. Handled with an abstract expressive vocabulary, the imposing landmark and the craggy, overhanging cliffs, with their stylised shapes and undulating, curvilinear forms, become a screen on which the artist projects his inner world. Likewise, the three vertical1 cypresses in the foreground, with their slender, sinuous lines and flowing, delicate forms seem to have lost their earthly substance, generating a sense of spiritual and moral uplift that recalls Parthenis’ beloved cypresses. Infused with ethereal light and a hazy, dreamlike atmosphere, and revealing a magnificent vagueness and poetic uncertainty of space, the entire canvas is transformed into a subjective image charged with symbolic, almost metaphysical import, perfectly matching the religious subject. 1 The vertical is a quintessentially idealistic line symbolising faith and uplift towards the heavens.

Built along a precipitous cliff at the mouth of the Chelmos Cave in northern Peloponnese in 362 AD by Theodoros and Symeon, two monks from Thessaloniki, historic Mega Spileo, the Great Cave Monastery, is reputedly the oldest in Greece and one of the most important pilgrimage sites for Orthodox Christians. Dedicated to the Assumption, the cloister was once among the richest in the Greek world, owning properties in Macedonia, Constantinople and Asia Minor, and housing important Byzantine manuscripts and relics. It was fortified during the Greek War of Independence and though it was repeatedly attacked it never fell into enemy hands. Following a devastating fire, it was rebuilt in 1937, while new buildings were added in the postwar period.

Just as the oldest bridge in Paris is named the new one (Pont Neuf), so Tsarouchis’s classicism is a means to portray the living present. Following the classic horizontal layering used in depicting sequences of topographic formations in panoramic landscapes, the artist produced a discreetly noble and irresistibly attractive picture that captures the timeless allure of Paris. Based on scrupulous observation of his subject, he imaginatively combined echoes of Byzantine icons, Pompeian frescoes, Renaissance paintings and folk art to convey a serene world of pure forms and suggest a balance between the natural and manmade environment. “His cosmopolitan Greekness can accommodate a lot of influences, which it assimilates in its own unique way. Tsarouchis is genuinely Greek and for that reason truly cosmopolitan.”1 Painted in Méru, a commune in the Oise department near Villeneuve-les-Sablons, 20km northwest of Paris, where he had bought a small farm to live, as he said, a natural life,2 this panoramic landscape is an evocative view of historic Pont Neuf, a stone bridge across the river Seine built between 1578 and 1607, as seen from Pont des Arts with its characteristic x-shaped railings shown in the foreground. The centre of the composition is dominated by Île de la Cité with the verdant Square du Vert-Galant occupying its front tip and Sainte Chapelle and Notre Dame in the background. Two separated arched bridge spans connect the small island to Rive Droit on the left and Rive Gauche on the right, with river boats moored across Quai de Conti, not far from Tsarouchis’s legendary home studio in Rue Dauphine. Bathed in the warm daylight of an autumn’s day, simplified in design and translucent in colour, the composition is enlivened by the discreet inclusion of the painter’s self-portrait.3 Rendered effortlessly with a vivid sense of on-the-spot immediacy, the artist’s likeness seems perfectly

integrated into the site, imbuing the picture with a meditative feel. The lyrical tone is further heightened by the breadth and openness of the sky, mottled with a grey-white mass of clouds pierced by the sun’s rays. Tsarouchis, much like the ancient Greeks and Byzantines, these great humanist painters, produced mostly figurative works. “I got involved with the depiction of nature and landscapes quite late in my career. I had many issues to resolve with the human figure, before that.”4 Tsarouchis handles the landscape as a chromatic harmony, a kind of abstract composition. “They say that a painter should work in an abstract style only if he is able to faithfully imitate nature” the artist once said. “I would say the opposite is true; one who understands that painting is a matter of harmony has earned the right to depict nature, because he has great passion.”5

Perpinioti-Agazir, Nikos Engonopoulos, Son Univers Pictural, exhibition catalogue and catalogue raisonée, Benaki Museum, Athens 2007, no. 627, p. 306 (illustrated), p. 463 (illustrated). Lost for almost 40 years before being rediscovered by Bonhams in a private collection in Athens, this exquisite Engonopoulos from the late 1950s is flooded with light and colour and bathed in a translucent atmosphere of dazzling clarity and glow, recalling the Minoans immortalised on the Knossos frescoes and the early kouroi, while alluding to the tall and slender formula of the Byzantine saints also evident in El Greco’s work.1 Elegant and masculine with an athletic built,2 the three protagonists in ancient Greek himations and chlamys allude to the heroism of a mythical past, faithfully reflecting the artist’s attitude towards painting as an ideal vehicle to probe into the world of Greekness. All three wear a ring on their index finger, essentially identifying with Engonopoulos himself who used to wear a characteristic ring on the same finger.3 This brilliant picture, included in the artist’s third one-man show, the first after his 1954 Venice Biennale participation and the first to be held in Greece after 1939, introduces the viewer to a fascinating world of poetic metaphor. As indicated by the red-and-white conical windsock on the upper right, the visual act takes place on airport grounds. The airport appears in Engonopoulos’s poem “The totem-like idols of the airport”, whose first three verses read: They left forever / away from us / the huge rocks of the orient.4 As noted by E. Nikoloudaki-Souri, “the poet chooses the airport, a structured space associated with noisy liftoffs and landings, partings and home comings, and sets it as the starting point of his narrative. The totem-like idols and the airport, the place where flights begin and end, indirectly refer to Daedalus,5 the mythical hero who taught mankind how to fly. In other words, he was the first bird-man and in this sense Engonopoulos identifies with him, embracing the age old notion associating poets with birds of flight. The equivalence between the huge rocks of the orient and the totem-like idols of the airport links the poem with collective perception and tradition, according to which the huge rocks are symbolic remnants of a mythical past alluding to the famed gigantic Greeks. The poet, representing the collective subject, implies that the difference between the two symbolic places, the “orient” and the “airport”, fall under the same equivalence. The former is far away and refers to the past and tradition, stability and nature, while the latter is the subject’s here and now, a place of quick transitions, closely linked with the mobility and achievements of modern civilization.”6 In the same vein, R. Zamarou notes: “Engonopoulos

usually refers to a cultural stratum associated with the orient. It could be argued that he represents (hailing from Constantinople) an intermediary between these cultural strata. By standing between the European and Oriental cultures, he created his own cultural amalgam.”7 The visual act takes place in a shallow space reminiscent of a theatrical stage set.8 “The lack of vast open spaces and supernatural landscapes whose sheer size nullifies the human scale is a typically Greek element.”9 This sense of theatricality is accentuated by the inclusion of a stage-like curtain and the use of vivid colour, a key element throughout Engonopoulos’s career. The sparkling, enamel-like yellow,10 red and blue pieces of clothing worn by the three figures, applied side by side on the canvas without tonal gradations, invite the viewer to a festive ritual of pure colour, handled with conscious daring, unique aptitude and undisputed love. As E. Engonopoulou, his daughter, notes, “for him each colour had its own value, its own voice”11, much the same as in Byzantine art, which Engonopoulos always considered the art form Greeks most closely relate to.

Archaising simplification of form, limited colour scheme, frontal poise3 reminiscent of Byzantine icon painting, confident brushwork, shallow compositional structure4 and bold outlines build up a solid edifice of pure form, perfectly matching the silent inflexibility and almost hieratic posture of the young soldier, transforming him into an earthbound saint of a Modern Greek pantheon.

This signature work by an emblematic figure of Modern Greek culture is a bold statement of the artist’s resolve in portraying familiar images and probing the inner world of Greekness. Captured with compelling realism, expressed not through an emphasis on detail but rather on the conception of the Greek reality of his time, a rough, virile, working-class Greek male—a trademark subject in Tsarouchis’s oeuvre—conveys a world of clarity and truthfulness, recapitulating in his straightforward gaze and harsh facial features the humane dignity and inner truth of Modern Greece. As noted by Nobel laureate O. Elytis, “Tsarouchis’s painting turns our vision away from the imposed, philhellenic reality and focuses it on the reality of the Greeks, which was always latent inside us.”1 Likewise, poet A. Embeirikos holds that, “when looking at Tsarouchis’s work, one has the immediate impression of looking at Greek painting par excellence, more so than in the work of any other Greek painter, with the exception of Theofilos.”2 In both artists everything is clearly expressed and all visual phenomena are thrust forward to the narrative surface where they receive even illumination in a continuous present.

Moreover, the soft gradations of light and shade, his loose handling of the moored ships in the background, the transparency of the water and the reflections that play on its surface indicate that Volanakis had absorbed the new artistic currents without abandoning the tenets of academic painting. The depiction of the sun, a motif often found in Greek folk art but rarely encountered in Modern Greek and European painting, endows the atmosphere with transient gleams of light and golden luminosities, accentuating the romantic feeling and recalling not only Claude Lorraine’s masterful 17th century renditions (compare Marine, Soleil Couchant in the Louvre) but also the attempts of the pioneer impressionists to break away from concrete form and object (compare Claude Monet, Impression, Sunrise, Musée Marmottan, Paris). The unity of effect, the sense of space and the loving delicacy with which Volanakis observed every nuance of the seascape are the artist’s means of conveying a feeling of peace and expressing his view of the transience of life. “His romantic soul seeks inner peace in the beauty of a dreamworld full of light and colour, where reverie is a kind of prayer. He is simply interested in a vertical and a horizontal to create a metaphysical stillness. That’s why he prefers calm seas and spring or summer skies. Rarely do his clouds warn of a coming storm.”5 The feeling of peace conveyed by such seascape views inspires the viewer to adopt a dreamlike attitude towards life. “The sea is revealed as a metaphor for the infinite and the ungraspable, the ship as a fleeting presence on the volatile, unfathomable sea, like man faced with eternity.”6

It is in such paintings as Sunset promenade with ships in the distance that Volanakis’ greatness can be fully appreciated. Dating probably from the artist’s early Greek period (1883-1885)1, this outstanding work is a fine rendering of the mellow warmth of atmosphere, strongly reminiscent of the great 17th century Dutch seascape masters. Light and colour animate the scene in the spirit of Willem Van De Velde the Younger, whose Calm Sea (1639) Volanakis is certain to have seen at Munich’s Alte Pinakothek. Though the influence of the Munich School is evident, Volanakis, raised on the islands of Crete and Syros and having experienced the open horizons and the constantly changing sea, could not limit himself to the cerebral conceptions and standardised recipes dictated by academic teachings.2 Moreover, his decision to give up a solidly established career in Bavaria to return to Greece in 1883, and his choice of taking permanent residency in the seaside town of Piraeus, facilitated him in accurately rendering atmospheric changes, delicate nuances of the seascape and soft gradations of light and shade, capturing the poetry of his scenes. As noted by M. Vlachos, a leading authority on the artist, “Volanakis is in constant communion with nature, in a composite relationship from which poetry emerges.”3 Here, his depiction of the tranquil surface of the sea, intersected by the vertical mast of the beached boat in the foreground, combines realistic and romantic elements to capture the absolute stillness of the hour in a harmonious composition and lyrical interpretation of the seascape (compare C. Volanakis, Phaleron Seashore, Bank of Greece collection, Athens). “Often not even a ripple breaks the surface of the sea and only the sails and tall masts chant the harmonies of subdued colours and bring life to the scene.”4

1 The jagged wooden fence surrounded by white wildflowers in the extreme left foreground is also found in Sailing ships by a beach at the A.G. Leventis collection, painted after the artist’s return to Greece, while the diagonal, rather than frontal handling of the seaside house in the left middleground is a formal development introduced around the same time (compare Poros and Village in Mt. Pelion, both at the National Gallery, Athens). See M. Vlachos, Volanakis [in Greek], Peak Publishing, Athens 2016, p. 97. 2 S.

28JEAN ALTAMOURA (1852-1878)Junction in choppy seas signed and dated ‘Jean Altamouras / 1875’ (lower right) oil on canvas 37 x 60.5 cm.

£12,000 - 18,000€14,000 - 21,000

We are grateful to the descendants of the artist’s family for confirming the authenticity of this work. Provenance Private collection, Athens.

“Altamoura produced only a few works and none of them is mediocre. At a time when an attorney in law was being paid fifteen drachmas for a court appearance, a canvas by Altamoura was purchased by the then Ministry of Marine Affairs for 2,000 drachmas.”1 In 1875, Altamoura, this short-lived but exceptional seascape painter who by the age of 24 was already an acclaimed artist enjoying the full support of the Greek Royal Court, was in Denmark on a state scholarship that enabled him to pursue graduate studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. As noted by G. Piemontese who prepared the artist’s monograph, Altamoura spent the summer of 1875 aboard the frigate “Jylland”, an important vessel of the Danish royal fleet.2 From May 21 to August 23, “Jylland” went on its 10th cruise from Elsinore to Plymouth, Madeira and Cherbourg. According to E. Kypreou, who curated the artist’s major retrospective at the Benaki Museum in 2011, this is highly probable since there are no other works by him with ‘Danish’ subjects during that period other than some drawings from a journey at sea, the frigate itself, as well as different types of ships. Evidently, Altamoura was offered the same opportunity to sail with the royal fleet as any other Danish marine painter.3 (Compare Warship, a watercolour on paper from 1875, showing the same battleship and other similar vessels with Danish flags).

Junction in choppy seas is a fine example of Altamoura’s mature style, demonstrating assurance of technique rarely found in so young an artist. The shifting atmosphere, the metaphysical luminosity of the European north, the mobility of light, the jewel-like details, such as the minuscule figures aboard the vessels, the low horizon in the vein of old Flemish masters and the breadth and openness of the shimmering sky that shines through travelling clouds, have been portrayed with effortless brilliance and loving care, combining academic principles with a vivid sense of on-the-spot immediacy.

29THEOFILOS HADJIMICHAEL (1871-1934)Erotokritos and Aretoussa inscribed in Greek (lower left) natural pigments on canvas laid on board 81 x 59 cm.

£30,000 - 50,000€35,000 - 58,000

Provenance Private collection, Athens. In a luxuriant garden inhabited by a majestic peacock and embellished with a frame of boldly coloured roses, Erotokritos has climbed a rope ladder to reach the balcony of his beloved Aretoussa. The young princess embraces him and leans in to kiss him, stretching her wonderful long neck set against the cascading locks of her hair. The composition is further animated by a row of buildings in the background used as a stage set for the meeting of the two young lovers. Written by Vintsentzos Kornaros around 1640, at a time when Crete laid across the lifelines of commerce and culture between Venice and Constantinople, Erotokritos is considered the masterpiece of Cretan poetry and a milestone in the history of Greek literature. Setting great store by true love, courage and patriotism, the poem enjoyed immense popularity among Greeks, who learned about it from refugees after the fall of Crete in 1669, and its hero became a symbol of suffering Hellenism, exalted side by side with Digenis Akritas and Alexander the Great.1 “The poem was very popular because Aretousa was as charming as Areti, a girl who featured in many demotic songs, while Erotokritos displayed the same qualities as the palikares of Cretan epic poetry. The two heroes are not foreign imports from the Renaissance. On the contrary, they are Greeks, inherently carrying within them Greek tradition and history.”2

Though Erotokritos is represented in a typical Renaissance outfit and the scene does not correspond exactly to the poem, Theofilos’s painting is imbued by a profoundly Greek atmosphere. As noted by K. Nitsos, “Theofilos’s self-assured and courageous Aretoussa, the gaze, the luxurious moustache and the facial traits of his Erotokritos, which make him look no different than the other braves he painted, endow the scene with an air of folk gallantry and honesty, poignantly capturing -even reviving- the Greek spirit and the Greek ethos of the Cretan Renaissance. Note the fascinating pictorial, even theatrical interplay of stripped and monochromatic fabrics and the different shades of blue generated by the alternating pleats and folds. Amidst ochres and reds, this radiant blue echoes the magnificent Byzantine harmonies that blend with both western influences and traditional sources without seeming to clash or be out of place.”3 Erotokritos has struck deep roots in the Greek soul and, not surprisingly, Theofilos’s legendary wooden chest contained a popular edition of this celebrated narrative poem.4

Doric in its dignity and Ionian in its subtlety and elegance, Moralis’s Composition captures the grandeur and aura of the classical not as a lifeless relic of ancient glory but as a form of eternity constantly reborn in the present. By ingeniously balancing lyrical sensitivity and ordered thought, the artist achieves a modern realization of the classical ideal: the elimination of the temporary, the elevation of form to a symbol and the initiation to a world of ideal rhythms, where form and spirit reclaim their fragmented wholeness. The monumental quality and purity of form, the subtle use of colour and spatial relationships, the disciplined rhythm dictated by a deep sense for human scale, the serene atmosphere imbued with meditative silence and elegiac feeling, the shallow compositional depth reminiscent of sculptural relief, the composed immobility and the austerity of the horizontal and vertical lines that set up a perfectly balanced geometric edifice, echo the timeless values of Greek idealistic art.1 (Compare Seated nude, 1958, Rhodes Municipality Modern Greek Art Museum). As noted by Athens National Gallery Director M. Lambraki-Plaka, Moralis was the sole exponent of the 1930s generation whose style was inspired by ancient Greek antiquity and especially by classical stele”.2 «In the early 1950s, Moralis turns towards classical antiquity and formulates a pictorial style highly imbued with pronounced elements of Greekness. He poses new and complex challenges. His means become simpler, frugal and more substantial, enriching his work with new expressive possibilities and values. He emphasizes schematisation and moves to chromatic abstractions. His colours maintain the materiality of paint. His

palette, inspired by the 5th-century painter Polygnotus3, is limited to earthen tones, ochres, tonal gradations of blue and black, brick red and white. He insists on flatness, unity and the composition’s inner geometry, abandoning descriptive elements and details and concentrating on the essential, which leads him to a balance between form and content.”4 Recalling his work from this period, Moralis once mentioned an incident related to the Bonhams picture: “I remember my friend Kostakis Zaimis coming to my studio in Nea Kifissia in 1951, when I was painting Composition, and telling me: “Paint no more! You’ll overdo it.”5 Reviewing the 1952 Panhellenic Exhibition, in which Moralis participated with three works, including Composition from 1951, art critic D. Evangelides noted: “Moralis renders the youthful female bodies in exquisite detail and unaffected simplicity as they rest and enjoy their rich and vibrant material substance in their comfortable postures.”6 As perceptively noted by C. Christou, “with the juxtaposition of the nude and clothed female figure, the vertical and horizontal themes, tactile and colour elements and biomorphic and geometric types, the picture compels the viewer to engage in a dialogue.”7 All these conflicting elements pose intriguing questions of interpretations without pointing towards a single answer. Moralis wanted viewers to draw their own conclusions, just as Bellows or even Titian had left viewers to explore the intricacies of their famous compositions featuring two seated women—one nude, one dressed—without explanatory narratives (compare G. Bellows, Two women, 1924, sold by Bonhams, New York, 19/11/2014, and Titian, Sacred and profane love, c. 1514, Galleria Borghese, Rome). As noted by Christou, “in Moralis’s paintings, one may trace a progress from earthly to heavenly love, from the sensual aspects of the subject to the universal and eternal, to the metaphysical and the transcendental.”8 1 See H. Kambouridis - G. Levounis, Modern Greek Art - the 20th Century, Ministry of the Aegean, Athens 1999, p. 126. 2 M. Lambraki-Plaka in “A Century of Moralis” [in Greek], To Vima daily, December 25-27, 2009, sect. B2, p. 6. 3 «The colours I use are based on the Polygnotian palette: black, brick red, ochre, indian blue and black. I once told Marina Lambraki-Plaka that I fancy the colours of the grouse. All these grays, the many gradations of black, the touches of white and the red that shines on their beaks and legs.” Y.

Silently immobile in shallow space like a precious butterfly pressed under glass, Tsarouchis’s personification of autumn celebrates the purely pictorial realisation of a symbol’s everlasting value. Striking immediacy, honesty of representation and genuineness of character build up an ideal world liberated from the fleeting moment. Painted in earthy colours, highlighted by solid outlines and set against a dark background reminiscent of many works by Giovanni Bellini (compare Pieta with Four Angels, 1470-1475, Pinacoteca Comunale, Rimini), the young sitter, the artist’s niece Korina Koutouzi, conveys a striking immediacy and resilient allure, echoing Byzantine icons or Fayum1 and Renaissance portraits. Tsarouchis recalls: “An issue that concerned me among other symbolisms was the age-old subject of the four seasons. Around 1966, a collector commissioned me to paint this long studied theme. I painted four figures—two couples—on a single canvas between 1968 and 1969 in Paris where I lived and worked at the time. Teriade saw this work and commissioned the Four Seasons on four separate canvases, with my nieces Korina and Despina as models. Despina as Spring and Winter, and Korina as Summer and Autumn.”2 Discussing the Bonhams picture in a 1975 article accompanied by a photograph of the painting, art critic M. Karavia noted that “after a quick look at Tsarouchis’s portraits in Athens it is evident that his Renaissance related inquiries, which started in 1967, continue to preoccupy him to this day. His harking back to the monochromatic—often black—backdrops of the Flemish masters, as is the case with this painting, or to Bellini’s portraiture became his own means of expression.”3 “The same way Tsarouchis glorifies the light in Theofilos’s paintings, he is enchanted by the darkness of Caravaggio. When he paints on black backgrounds, in the vein of the Italian master, he does not rely on an interplay of light and shadow to build up form but, rather, he illuminates his figures from within according to the Byzantine tradition.”4 Featuring solid outlines, lively brushwork, bold application of paint and an utterly captivating non-finito effect,5 this allegorical portrait conveys a sense of reserved authority and lofty stature, with the artist—who was thoroughly familiar with the European artistic tradition—employing established art historical conventions from disparate historical eras to elevate his model to a mythical level. Tsarouchis himself said that when he painted the personifications of the four seasons he was influenced by the 17th and 18th century old master paintings he saw in French

museums, blending age-old techniques with his personal artistic visions.6 “Tsarouchis draws on allegory—a rhetorical mode used as a cryptic form of artistic expression in Italian Renaissance and Baroque paintings—not simply so as to give an aesthetic dimension to an abstract concept through a specific form, but rather to make the most of its narrative and image-making abilities. As a typical rhetorical scheme of old master paintings, it invests his work with an aura of classicism.”7 As noted by Athens National Gallery Director M. Lambraki-Plaka, “Tsarouchis’s figures managed to survive the iconoclastic crusade of modern art, which never tired of demolishing, distorting or expelling the human form. Tsarouchis did not give in to this negative aesthetic theory, which preached the systematic rejection of the rules of Western tradition. He is one of the few painters who managed to cross the tempestuous 20th century by keeping intact the precious palladium of the human figure. His art is a modern day incarnation of Noah’s Arc.”8 1 Realistic and contemplative portraits produced in the Nile Valley during Roman times bearing the marks of an unquestionably Greek style deeply rooted in the Hellenistic School of Alexandria. They kept alive the conventions of naturalistic representation and passed them on to the Byzantine icon painters. Fayum portraiture was a major source of inspiration for Tsarouchis in his effort to reinterpret the age old tradition of Greco-Roman and Byzantine art in a modern and vigorous manner.2 Yannis Tsarouchis Painting, Comments, Yannis Tsarouchis Foundation, Athens 1990, p. x. 3 M.

40MICHALIS ECONOMOU (1888-1933)Fishing boat at sunset signed ‘M.Economou’ (lower left) oil on board 54.2 x 65.5 cm.

£20,000 - 30,000€23,000 - 35,000

Provenance The Antonopoulos collection, Patras and Athens. Thence by descent to the present owner’s private collection, Canada and United States. We are grateful to Mrs Afroditi Kouria for her assistance in authenticating this lot. Handled with loosely painted, abbreviated curvilinear forms and stripped of superfluous descriptive detail, Economou’s peacefully floating boat1 is transformed into a highly evocative image that feels more like a distant recollection than an actual sensory experience. Fishing boat at sunset prioritizes atmosphere and lyrical feeling above realistic depiction. Introduced by the water reflections that lead the eye from the foreground to the middleground, the poetic mood permeates the entire seascape, turning it into an expressive field that records the artist’s emotional and intellectual response to the natural environment. The juxtaposition of soft and heavily worked forms bathed in diffused light creates an ambivalent sense of presence/absence in a poetic ‘timescape’ where human presence is suggested rather than actually depicted.2 Note how the fisherman is so integrated in the poetic atmosphere that he dissolves into his natural surroundings, partaking in the ethereal vagueness and lyrical uncertainty of space.

Moreover, the depiction of the sun, a motif often found in folk Greek art but rarely encountered in Modern Greek and European painting, endows the atmosphere with transient gleams of light and golden luminosities, accentuating the romantic feeling. In 1927, D. Kokkinos noted that the works by Economou were true works of poetry, but so masterfully rendered that their significance as paintings prevailed. 1 For a discussion of the boat motif in Economou’s work, see A. Kouria, Michalis Economou, Fifty Years from his Death [in Greek], Zygos magazine, no. 56, November-December 1982, p. 15. 2 Kouria, Michalis Economou [in Greek], Adam editions, Athens 2001, pp. 106-116.

Provenance E. Teriade collection, Mytilene, Greece Private collection, Athens. Literature Theofilos, Commercial Bank of Greece edition, Athens 1966, no. 191 (illustrated).

This picture was painted on the artist’s native island of Mytilene, to which Theofilos had returned in 1926-27 following a forty-year odyssey. There, his imaginary universe, which had crystallised on the walls of village houses and shops around Mt. Pelion, came back to life in a new and delightful manifestation. As noted by N. Matsas, “in Mytilene, Theofilos enjoyed a very creative and prolific period, during which he painted some of his best works.”1 In the same vein, G. Samourkas holds that “the artist’s Mytilene period, which lasted eight years until his passing in 1934, is his most mature; his designs became more confident, his colours warmer, his compositions more structured, his backdrops more embellished and his colour combinations more elegant.”2 Although the scene describes a quarrel between Magyars in traditional costumes, Theofilos’s roots go way back to the Byzantine world and the ancient Aegean, and it is this heritage that makes him paint in a distinctly Greek manner.3 As the painter O. Kanellis once said, wherever in the world one sees a painting by Theofilos, they will instantly say: “This is no doubt a Greek work of art.”4

53 ARLUCAS SAMARAS (BORN 1936)Reconstruction # 86 sewn fabrics on canvas framed in plexiglass 183 x 206 cm (199 x 223 x 7 cm with frame and plexiglass).

£40,000 - 60,000€47,000 - 70,000

Executed in 1979.

Provenance The Pace Gallery, New York. Jeffrey Hoffeld & Co. Inc., New York. Graham Gund collection, Cambridge Massachusetts. D. Logothetis collection, Athens. Private collection, Athens. Stitched together with the craftsmanship of Kastoria’s traditional furriers and the sensitivity with which American pioneer women sewed their patchwork quilts, Reconstruction # 86 reflects in a way the dual roots of Greek-American Lucas Samaras, this leading cult figure of postwar avant-garde. The son of a furrier from Kastoria who had immigrated to the United States in the late 1930s, Samaras spent many of his teenage summers in his father’s New York City shop stitching small pieces of fur together. “The autobiographical aspect of the genre is deepened by this incorporation, like much of his work, of elements traditionally associated with craft, which Samaras has brought into the domain of fine art.”1 Interweaving bands of vibrantly patterned swatches of fabric, shimmering pieces of cloth and radiating pinstripes, polkadots and plaids zip across the surface, demonstrating a daring combination of traditional form and revolutionary thrust. Colliding planes, jarring colours and fractured space generate a wild energy, “reconstructing” an ultimately fascinating totality. With its slashing diagonals and sense of intense speed of execution, Reconstruction # 86 recalls the dynamism of action painting, while the quilt-like effect brings it closer to the pattern and decoration movement. As noted by art critic Kim Levin, “Samaras’ big opulent fabric works are almost impersonal, sleek and abstract, conforming to the large scale, rectangular format and flat picture plane of conventional modern

painting. All the motifs of his previous work reappear in the patterned cloth he stiches together into dazzling patchworks, as if he were piercing the whole fabric of his past art into a grandiose and comedic quilt. His identity is embedded in them. He has always worked by accumulation, by repetition, by insistence, and has always transformed tacky banal materials into glittering magical surfaces. And the tactile excitations of his past work are magnified in these sensual patchwork skins of cloth that flirt with Islamic latticing, oriental calligraphy or giant brushworks in an irrational amalgam of the romantic past. Subjected to repeated destructions and reconstructions—which is how they got their name—their making involves not only the usual violations of Samaras’s work but a process which resembles the ruthless alterations of action painting. Samaras’s Reconstructions must be seen as paintings, highly sophisticated and completely perverse. Big dazzling abstractions. They are also variegated, witty, improvisational hybrid surfaces that fuse random and disparate materials into a seamless expressive whole. They reconstruct not folk handicraft but modernist art.”2

Constructed of successive flat surfaces in the style of Picasso’s synthetic cubist collages, this amazing relief by one of the most gifted and vigorous sculptors of postwar European abstraction, owes its seductive appeal to the fascinating interplay of angular forms and intense colours. Discussing this piece in his book on Modern Greek Sculpture, Professor I. Mykoniatis noted that “its solid geometric shapes are joined by strong metal bolts that allow the various parts to retain their autonomy without jeopardizing their relations of interdependence.”1 1.

the wealth and prowess of Condopoulos’ expressive language.”2 Fragmentary references to both the real and the imaginary in daring combinations of blazing colour conspire to create a challenging work of throbbing energy, suggestive symbolism and subtle social commentary. In its deliberately untidy contours, exuberant but effacing brushstrokes, seemingly random spillings and drippings and intense paint smears this bold picture bridges the gap between action painting and pop art, as manifested mainly in the work of Robert Rauschenberg. 1. S. Lydakis, ‘Biographical Notes’ [in Greek] in Alekos Kontopoulos (exhibition catalogue), National Gallery and Alexandros Soutzos Museum, Athens 1976, p. 35. 2. C. Christou, ‘Alecos Condopoulos’ [in Greek] in Alecos Condopoulos, Retrospective, exhibition catalogue, ‘A. Condopoulos’ Municipal Gallery of Lamia, Lamia 1996, p. 54.

Dreamy images of poetic metaphor freely juxtaposed in unexpected combinations occupy an enigmatic landscape, undermining narrative cohesion and revealing the mysterious pathways of the mind. “Between 1960 and 1970, Condopoulos’ work ventured beyond abstraction, reflecting the artist’s inner need to engage in a discourse with his time and fellow men rather than be solely preoccupied with probing into his own psyche.”1 Organic forms collide with undecipherable shapes, conveying a tense atmosphere of heightened activity and alluding to the multiplicity of perceptions, ideas and experiences that largely define the modern human condition. “Since 1970 Condopoulos became increasingly involved with figurative types combined with abstract elements, fragmented forms and an overall parcelling out of the pictorial surface. Calligraphic motifs coupled with geometric designs of expressionistic colour and a sense of ambiguous space became more prominent. Even a handful of works from his 1970-1974 period, such as his most characteristic Morning dew on arid land painted in 1973, would suffice to convey

This notice is addressed by Bonhams to any person who may be interested in a Lot, including Bidders and potential Bidders (including any eventual Buyer of the Lot). For ease of reference we refer to such persons as “Bidders” or “you”. Our List of Definitions and Glossary is incorporated into this Notice to Bidders. It is at Appendix 3 at the back of the Catalogue. Where words and phrases are used in this notice which are in the List of Definitions, they are printed in italics.

IMPORTANT: Additional information applicable to the Sale may be set out in the Catalogue for the Sale, in an insert in the Catalogue and/or in a notice displayed at the Sale venue and you should read them as well. Announcements affecting the Sale may also be given out orally before and during the Sale without prior written notice. You should be alert to the possibility of changes and ask in advance of bidding if there have been any.

1. OUR ROLE

In its role as Auctioneer of Lots, Bonhams acts solely for and in the interests of the Seller. Bonhams’ job is to sell the Lot at the highest price obtainable at the Sale to a Bidder. Bonhams does not act for Buyers or Bidders in this role and does not give advice to Buyers or Bidders. When it or its staff make statements about a Lot or, if Bonhams provides a Condition Report on a Lot it is doing that on behalf of the Seller of the Lot. Bidders and Buyers who are themselves not expert in the Lots are strongly advised to seek and obtain independent advice on the Lots and their value before bidding for them. The Seller has authorised Bonhams to sell the Lot as its agent on its behalf and, save where we expressly make it clear to the contrary, Bonhams acts only as agent for the Seller. Any statement or representation we make in respect of a Lot is made on the Seller’s behalf and, unless Bonhams sells a Lot as principal, not on our behalf and any Contract for Sale is between the Buyer and the Seller and not with us. If Bonhams sells a Lot as principal this will either be stated in the Catalogue or an announcement to that effect will be made by the Auctioneer, or it will be stated in a notice at the Sale or an insert in the Catalogue.

Bonhams does not owe or undertake or agree to any duty or responsibility to you in contract or tort (whether direct, collateral, express, implied or otherwise). If you successfully bid for a Lot and buy it, at that stage Bonhams does enter into an agreement with the Buyer. The terms of that contract are set out in our Buyer’s Agreement, which you will find at Appendix 2 at the back of the Catalogue. This will govern Bonhams’ relationship with the Buyer.

2. LOTS

Subject to the Contractual Description printed in bold letters in the Entry about the Lot in the Catalogue (see paragraph 3 below), Lots are sold to the Buyer on an “as is” basis, with all faults and imperfections. Illustrations and photographs contained in the Catalogue (other than photographs forming part of the Contractual Description) or elsewhere of any Lots are for identification purposes only. They may not reveal the true condition of the Lot. A photograph or illustration may not reflect an accurate reproduction of the colour(s) of the Lot. Lots are available for inspection prior to the Sale and it is for you to satisfy yourself as to each and every aspect of a Lot, including its authorship, attribution, condition, provenance, history, background, authenticity, style, period, age, suitability, quality, roadworthiness (if relevant), origin, value and estimated selling price (including the Hammer Price). It is your responsibility to examine any Lot in which you are interested. It should be remembered that the actual condition of a Lot may not be as good as that indicated by its outward appearance. In particular, parts may have been replaced or renewed and Lots may not be authentic or of satisfactory quality; the inside of a Lot may not be visible and may not be original or may be damaged, as for example where it is covered by upholstery or material. Given the age of many Lots they may have been damaged and/or repaired and you should not assume that a Lot is in good condition. Electronic or mechanical parts may not operate or may not comply with current statutory requirements. You should not assume that electrical items designed to operate on mains electricity will be suitable for connection to the mains electricity supply and you should obtain a report from a qualified electrician on their status before doing so. Such items which are unsuitable for connection

are sold as items of interest for display purposes only. If you yourself do not have expertise regarding a Lot, you should consult someone who does to advise you. We can assist in arranging facilities for you to carry out or have carried out more detailed inspections and tests. Please ask our staff for details.

Any person who damages a Lot will be held liable for the loss caused.

3. DESCRIPTIONS OF LOTS AND ESTIMATES

Contractual Description of a Lot The Catalogue contains an Entry about each Lot. Each Lot is sold by its respective Seller to the Buyer of the Lot as corresponding only with that part of the Entry which is printed in bold letters and (except for the colour, which may be inaccurately reproduced) with any photograph of the Lot in the Catalogue. The remainder of the Entry, which is not printed in bold letters, represents Bonhams’ opinion (given on behalf of the Seller) about the Lot only and is not part of the Contractual Description in accordance with which the Lot is sold by the Seller.

Estimates In most cases, an Estimate is printed beside the Entry. Estimates are only an expression of Bonhams’ opinion made on behalf of the Seller of the range where Bonhams thinks the Hammer Price for the Lot is likely to fall; it is not an Estimate of value. It does not take into account any VAT or Buyer’s Premium payable or any other fees payable by the Buyer, which are detailed in paragraph 7 of the Notice to Bidders, below. Lots can in fact sell for Hammer Prices below and above the Estimate. Any Estimate should not be relied on as an indication of the actual selling price or value of a Lot. Estimates are in the currency of the Sale.

Condition Reports In respect of most Lots, you may ask for a Condition Report on its physical condition from Bonhams. If you do so, this will be provided by Bonhams on behalf of the Seller free of charge. Bonhams is not entering into a contract with you in respect of the Condition Report and accordingly does not assume responsibility to you in respect of it. Nor does the Seller owe or agree to owe you as a Bidder any obligation or duty in respect of this free report about a Lot, which is available for your own inspection or for inspection by an expert instructed by you. However, any written Description of the physical condition of the Lot contained in a Condition Report will form part of the Contractual Description of the Lot under which it is sold to any Buyer.

The Seller’s responsibility to you The Seller does not make or agree to make any representation of fact or contractual promise, Guarantee or warranty and undertakes no obligation or duty, whether in contract or in tort (other than to the eventual Buyer as set out above), in respect of the accuracy or completeness of any statement or representation made by him or on his behalf, which is in any way descriptive of any Lot or as to the anticipated or likely selling price of any Lot. Other than as set out above, no statement or representation in any way descriptive of a Lot or any Estimate is incorporated into any Contract for Sale between a Seller and a Buyer.

Bonhams’ responsibility to you You have the opportunity of examining the Lot if you want to and the Contract for Sale for a Lot is with the Seller and not with Bonhams; Bonhams acts as the Seller’s agent only (unless Bonhams sells the Lot as principal).

Bonhams undertakes no obligation to you to examine, investigate or carry out any tests, either in sufficient depth or at all, on each Lot to establish the accuracy or otherwise of any Descriptions or opinions given by Bonhams, or by any person on Bonhams’ behalf, whether in the Catalogue or elsewhere.

You should not suppose that such examinations, investigations or tests have occurred.

Bonhams does not make or agree to make any representation of fact, and undertakes no obligation or duty (whether in contract or tort) in respect of the accuracy or completeness of any statement or representation made by Bonhams or on Bonhams’ behalf which is in any way descriptive of any Lot

or as to the anticipated or likely selling price of any Lot. No statement or representation by Bonhams or on its behalf in any way descriptive of any Lot or any Estimate is incorporated into our Buyer’s Agreement.

Alterations Descriptions and Estimates may be amended at Bonhams’ discretion from time to time by notice given orally or in writing before or during a Sale.

THE LOT IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION AND YOU MUST FORM YOUR OWN OPINION IN RELATION TO IT. YOU ARE STRONGLY ADVISED TO EXAMINE ANY LOT OR HAVE IT EXAMINED ON YOUR BEHALF BEFORE THE SALE.

4. CONDUCT OF THE SALE

Our Sales are public auctions which persons may attend and you should take the opportunity to do so. We do reserve the right at our sole discretion to refuse admission to our premises or to any Sale without stating a reason. We have complete discretion as to whether the Sale proceeds, whether any Lot is included in the Sale, the manner in which the Sale is conducted and we may offer Lots for Sale in any order we choose notwithstanding the numbers given to Lots in the Catalogue. You should therefore check the date and starting time of the Sale, whether there have been any withdrawals or late entries. Remember that withdrawals and late entries may affect the time at which a Lot you are interested in is put up for Sale. We have complete discretion to refuse any bid, to nominate any bidding increment we consider appropriate, to divide any Lot, to combine two or more Lots, to withdraw any Lot from a Sale and, before the Sale has been closed, to put up any Lot for auction again. Auction speeds can exceed 100 Lots to the hour and bidding increments are generally about 10%. However these do vary from Sale to Sale and from Auctioneer to Auctioneer. Please check with the department organising the Sale for advice on this. Where a Reserve has been applied to a Lot, the Auctioneer may, in his absolute discretion, place bids (up to an amount not equalling or exceeding such Reserve) on behalf of the Seller. We are not responsible to you in respect of the presence or absence of any Reserve in respect of any Lot. If there is a Reserve it will normally be no higher than the lower figure for any Estimate in the Catalogue, assuming that the currency of the Reserve has not fluctuated adversely against the currency of the Estimate. The Buyer will be the Bidder who makes the highest bid acceptable to the Auctioneer for any Lot (subject to any applicable Reserve) to whom the Lot is knocked down by the Auctioneer at the fall of the Auctioneer’s hammer. Any dispute as to the highest acceptable bid will be settled by the Auctioneer in his absolute discretion. All bids tendered will relate to the actual Lot number announced by the Auctioneer. An electronic currency converter may be used at the Sale. This equipment is provided as a general guide as to the equivalent amount in certain currencies of a given bid. We do not accept any responsibility for any errors which may occur in the use of the currency converter. We may use video cameras to record the Sale and may record telephone calls for reasons of security and to assist in solving any disputes which may arise in relation to bids made at the Sale. At some Sales, for example, jewellery Sales, we may use screens on which images of the Lots will be projected. This service is provided to assist viewing at the Sale. The image on the screen should be treated as an indication only of the current Lot. It should be noted that all bids tendered will relate to the actual Lot number announced by the Auctioneer. We do not accept any responsibility for any errors which may occur in the use of the screen.

5. BIDDING

We do not accept bids from any person who has not completed and delivered to us one of our Bidding Forms, either our Bidder Registration Form, Absentee Bidding Form or Telephone Bidding Form. You will be asked for proof of identity, residence and references, which, when asked for, you must supply if your bids are to be accepted by us. Please bring your passport, driving licence (or similar photographic proof of identity) and proof of address. We may request a deposit from you before allowing you to bid. We may refuse entry to a Sale to any person even if that person has completed a Bidding Form.

NOTICE TO BIDDERS

NTB/MAIN/3.2019

Bidding in person You should come to our Bidder registration desk at the Sale venue and fill out a Bidder Registration Form on (or, if possible, before) the day of the Sale. The bidding number system is sometimes referred to as “paddle bidding”. You will be issued with a large card (a “paddle”) with a printed number on it. This will be attributed to you for the purposes of the Sale. Should you be a successful Bidder you will need to ensure that your number can be clearly seen by the Auctioneer and that it is your number which is identified as the Buyer’s. You should not let anyone else use your paddle as all Lots will be invoiced to the name and address given on your Bidder Registration Form. Once an invoice is issued it will not be changed. If there is any doubt as to the Hammer Price of, or whether you are the successful Bidder of, a particular Lot, you must draw this to the attention of the Auctioneer before the next Lot is offered for Sale. At the end of the Sale, or when you have finished bidding please return your paddle to the Bidder registration desk.

Bidding by telephone If you wish to bid at the Sale by telephone, please complete a Telephone Bidding Form, which is available from our offices or in the Catalogue. Please then return it to the office responsible for the Sale at least 24 hours in advance of the Sale. It is your responsibility to check with our Bids Office that your bid has been received. Telephone calls will be recorded. The telephone bidding facility is a discretionary service and may not be available in relation to all Lots. We will not be responsible for bidding on your behalf if you are unavailable at the time of the Sale or if the telephone connection is interrupted during bidding. Please contact us for further details.

Bidding by post or fax Absentee Bidding Forms can be found in the back of this Catalogue and should be completed and sent to the office responsible for the Sale. It is in your interests to return your form as soon as possible, as if two or more Bidders submit identical bids for a Lot, the first bid received takes preference. In any event, all bids should be received at least 24 hours before the start of the Sale. Please check your Absentee Bidding Form carefully before returning it to us, fully completed and signed by you. It is your responsibility to check with our Bids Office that your bid has been received. This additional service is complimentary and is confidential. Such bids are made at your own risk and we cannot accept liability for our failure to receive and/or place any such bids. All bids made on your behalf will be made at the lowest level possible subject to Reserves and other bids made for the Lot. Where appropriate your bids will be rounded down to the nearest amount consistent with the Auctioneer’s bidding increments. New Bidders must also provide proof of identity and address when submitting bids. Failure to do this will result in your bid not being placed.

Bidding via the internet Please visit our Website at http://www.bonhams.com for details of how to bid via the internet.

Bidding through an agent Bids will be accepted as placed on behalf of the person named as the principal on the Bidding Form although we may refuse to accept bids from an agent on behalf of a principal and will require written confirmation from the principal confirming the agent’s authority to bid. Nevertheless, as the Bidding Form explains, any person placing a bid as agent on behalf of another (whether or not he has disclosed that fact or the identity of his principal) will be jointly and severally liable with the principal to the Seller and to Bonhams under any contract resulting from the acceptance of a bid. Subject to the above, please let us know if you are acting on behalf of another person when bidding for Lots at the Sale.

Equally, please let us know if you intend to nominate another person to bid on your behalf at the Sale unless this is to be carried out by us pursuant to a Telephone or Absentee Bidding Form that you have completed. If we do not approve the agency arrangements in writing before the Sale, we are entitled to assume that the person bidding at the Sale is bidding on his own behalf. Accordingly, the person bidding at the Sale will be the Buyer and will be liable to pay the Hammer Price and

Buyer’s Premium and associated charges. If we approve the identity of your client in advance, we will be in a position to address the invoice to your principal rather than you. We will require proof of the agent’s client’s identity and residence in advance of any bids made by the agent on his behalf. Please refer to our Conditions of Business and contact our Customer Services Department for further details.

6. CONTRACTS BETWEEN THE BUYER AND SELLER AND THE BUYER AND BONHAMS

On the Lot being knocked down to the Buyer, a Contract for Sale of the Lot will be entered into between the Seller and the Buyer on the terms of the Contract for Sale set out in Appendix 1 at the back of the Catalogue. You will be liable to pay the Purchase Price, which is the Hammer Price plus any applicable VAT. At the same time, a separate contract is also entered into between us as Auctioneers and the Buyer. This is our Buyer’s Agreement, the terms of which are set out in Appendix 2 at the back of the Catalogue. Please read the terms of the Contract for Sale and our Buyer’s Agreement contained in the Catalogue in case you are the successful Bidder. We may change the terms of either or both of these agreements in advance of their being entered into, by setting out different terms in the Catalogue and/or by placing an insert in the Catalogue and/or by notices at the Sale venue and/or by oral announcements before and during the Sale. You should be alert to this possibility of changes and ask if there have been any.

7. BUYER’S PREMIUM AND OTHER CHARGES PAYABLE BY THE BUYER

Under the Buyer’s Agreement, a premium (the Buyer’s Premium) is payable to us by the Buyer in accordance with the terms of the Buyer’s Agreement and at rates set out below, calculated by reference to the Hammer Price and payable in addition to it. For this Sale the following rates of Buyer’s Premium will be payable by Buyers on each Lot purchased: 27.5% up to £2,500 of the Hammer Price 25% of the Hammer Price above £2,500 and up to £300,000 20% of the Hammer Price above £300,000 and up to £3,000,000 13.9% of the Hammer Price above £3,000,000

Storage and handling charges may also be payable by the Buyer as detailed on the specific Sale Information page at the front of the catalogue.

The Buyer’s Premium and all other charges payable to us by the Buyer are subject to VAT at the prevailing rate, currently 20%.

VAT may also be payable on the Hammer Price of the Lot, where indicated by a symbol beside the Lot number. See paragraph 8 below for details.

On certain Lots, which will be marked “AR” in the Catalogue and which are sold for a Hammer Price of €1,000 or greater (converted into the currency of the Sale using the European Central Bank Reference rate prevailing on the date of the Sale), the Additional Premium will be payable to us by the Buyer to cover our Expenses relating to the payment of royalties under the Artists Resale Right Regulations 2006. The Additional Premium will be a percentage of the amount of the Hammer Price calculated in accordance with the table below, and shall not exceed €12,500 (converted into the currency of the Sale using the European Central Bank Reference rate prevailing on the date of the Sale).

Hammer Price Percentage amount From €0 to €50,000 4%From €50,000.01 to €200,000 3%From €200,000.01 to €350,000 1%From €350,000.01 to €500,000 0.5%Exceeding €500,000 0.25%

8. VAT

The prevailing rate of VAT at the time of going to press is 20%, but this is subject to government change and the rate payable will be the rate in force on the date of the Sale.

a Buyers from within the EU: VAT is payable at the prevailing rate on just the Buyer’s Premium (NOT the Hammer Price). Buyers from outside the EU: VAT is payable at the prevailing rate on both Hammer Price and Buyer’s Premium. If a Buyer, having registered under a non-EU address, decides that the item is not to be exported from the EU, then he should advise Bonhams immediately.

In all other instances no VAT will be charged on the Hammer Price, but VAT at the prevailing rate will be added to Buyer’s Premium which will be invoiced on a VAT inclusive basis.

9. PAYMENT

It is of critical importance that you ensure that you have readily available funds to pay the Purchase Price and the Buyer’s Premium (plus VAT and any other charges and Expenses to us)in full before making a bid for the Lot. If you are a successful Bidder, payment will be due to us by 4.30 pm on the second working day after the Sale so that all sums are cleared by the eighth working day after the Sale. Payments made by anyone other than the registered Buyer will not be accepted. Bonhams reserves the right to vary the terms of payment at any time.

14. THE SELLERS AND/OR BONHAMS’ LIABILITY

Other than any liability of the Seller to the Buyer of a Lot under the Contract for Sale, neither we nor the Seller are liable (whether in negligence or otherwise) for any error or misdescription or omission in any Description of a Lot or any Estimate in respect of it, whether contained in the Catalogue or

otherwise, whether given orally or in writing and whether given before or during the Sale. Neither we nor the Seller will be liable for any loss of Business, profits, revenue or income, or for loss of reputation, or for disruption to Business or wasted time on the part of management or staff, or for indirect losses or consequential damages of any kind, irrespective in any case of the nature, volume or source of the loss or damage alleged to be suffered, and irrespective of whether the said loss or damage is caused by or claimed in respect of any negligence, other tort, breach of contract (if any) or statutory duty, restitutionary claim or otherwise. In any circumstances where we and/or the Seller are liable in relation to any Lot or any Description or Estimate made of any Lot, or the conduct of any Sale in relation to any Lot, whether in damages, for an indemnity or contribution, or for a restitutionary remedy or otherwise, our and/or the Seller’s liability (combined, if both we and the Seller are liable) will be limited to payment of a sum which will not exceed by way of maximum the amount of the Purchase Price of the Lot irrespective in any case of the nature, volume or source of any loss or damage alleged to be suffered or sum claimed as due, and irrespective of whether the liability arises from any negligence, other tort, breach of contract (if any) or statutory duty or otherwise. Nothing set out above will be construed as excluding or restricting (whether directly or indirectly) our liability or excluding or restricting any person’s rights or remedies in respect of (i) fraud, or (ii) death or personal injury caused by our negligence (or by the negligence of any person under our control or for whom we are legally responsible), or (iii) acts or omissions for which we are liable under the Occupiers Liability Act 1957, or (iv) any other liability to the extent the same may not be excluded or restricted as a matter of law or (v) our undertakings under paragraphs 9 (in relation to specialist Stamp or Book Sales only) and 10 of the Buyer’s Agreement. The same applies in respect of the Seller, as if references to us in this paragraph were substituted with references to the Seller.

15. BOOKS

As stated above, all Lots are sold on an “as is” basis, subject to all faults, imperfections and errors of Description save as set out below. However, you will be entitled to reject a Book in the circumstances set out in paragraph 11 of the Buyers Agreement. Please note that Lots comprising printed Books, unframed maps and bound manuscripts are not liable to VAT on the Buyer’s Premium.

16. CLOCKS AND WATCHES

All Lots are sold “as is”, and the absence of any reference to the condition of a clock or watch does not imply that the Lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Most clocks and watches have been repaired in the course of their normal lifetime and may now incorporate parts not original to them. Furthermore, Bonhams makes no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order. As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, Bidders should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary. Bidders should be aware that the importation of watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller and Corum into the United States is highly restricted. These watches may not be shipped to the USA and can only be imported personally.

17. FIREARMS – PROOF, CONDITION AND CERTIFICATION

Proof of Firearms The term “proof exemption” indicates that a firearm has been examined at a Proof House, but not proved, as either (a) it was deemed of interest and not intended for use, or (b) ammunition was not available. In either case, the firearm must be regarded as unsafe to fire unless subsequently proved. Firearms proved for Black Powder should not be used with smokeless ammunition.

The term “Certificate of Unprovability” indicates that a firearm has been examined at a Proof House and is deemed both unsuitable for proof and use. Reproof is required before any such firearm is to be used.

Guns Sold as Parts Barrels of guns sold as parts will only be made available for

sleeving and measurements once rendered unserviceable according to the Gun Barrel Proof Act of 1968 to 1978 and the Rules of Proof.

Condition of Firearms Comment in this Catalogue is restricted, in general, to exceptional condition and to those defects that might affect the immediate safety of a firearm in normal use. An intending Bidder unable to make technical examinations and assessments is recommended to seek advice from a gunmaker or from a modern firearms specialist. All prospective Bidders are advised to consult the ˚ of bore and wall-thickness measurements posted in the saleroom and available from the department. Bidders should note that guns are stripped only where there is a strong indication of a mechanical malfunction. Stripping is not, otherwise, undertaken. Guns intended for use should be stripped and cleaned beforehand. Hammer guns should have their rebound mechanisms checked before use. The safety mechanisms of all guns must be tested before use. All measurements are approximate.

Original Gun Specifications Derived from Gunmakers The Sporting Gun Department endeavours to confirm a gun’s original specification and date of manufacture with makers who hold their original records.

Licensing Requirements Firearms Act 1968 as amended Bonhams is constantly reviewing its procedures and would remind you that, in the case of firearms or shotguns subject to certification, to conform with current legislation, Bonhams is required to see, as appropriate, your original registered firearms dealer’s certificate / shot gun certificate / firearm certificate / museum firearms licence / Section 5 authority or import licence (or details of any exemption from which you may benefit, for instance Crown servant status) for the firearm(s) you have purchased prior to taking full payment of the amount shown on your invoice. Should you not already be in possession of such an authority or exemption, you are required to initially pay a deposit of 95% of the total invoice with the balance of 5% payable on presentation of your valid certificate or licence showing your authority to hold the firearm(s) concerned.

Please be advised that if a successful Bidder is then unable to produce the correct paperwork, the Lot(s) will be reoffered by Bonhams in the next appropriate Sale, on standard terms for Sellers, and you will be responsible for any loss incurred by Bonhams on the original Sale to you.

In the case of RFD certificates and Section 5 authorities, we wish to keep an up-to-date copy on file. Please supply us with a Fax or photocopy. It would be helpful if you could send us an updated copy whenever your certificate or authority is renewed or changed.

Lots marked ‘S1´ and bearing red labels are Section 1 firearms and require a valid British Firearms certificate, RFD Licence or import licence.

Lots marked ‘S2’ and bearing blue labels are Section 2 firearms and require a valid British Shotgun certificate, RFD licence or import licence.

Lots marked ‘S5´ and bearing specially marked red labels are Section 5 prohibited firearms and require a valid Section 5 Authority or import licence.

Lots marked with a ‘S58´ and bearing yellow labels are for obsolete calibres and no licence is required unless ammunition is held.

Unmarked Lots require no licence.

Please do not hesitate to contact the Modern Sporting Gun Department should you have any queries.

Taxidermy and Related Items As a Seller of these articles, Bonhams undertakes to comply fully with Cites and DEFRA regulations. Buyers are advised to inform themselves of all such regulations and should expect the exportation of items to take some time to arrange.

18. FURNITURE

Upholstered Furniture Whilst we take every care in cataloguing furniture which has been upholstered we offer no Guarantee as to the originality of the wood covered by fabric or upholstery.

19. JEWELLERY

Gemstones Historically many gemstones have been subjected to a variety of treatments to enhance their appearance. Sapphires and rubies are routinely heat treated to improve their colour and clarity, similarly emeralds are frequently treated with oils or resin for the same purpose. Other treatments such as staining, irradiation or coating may have been used on other gemstones. These treatments may be permanent, whilst others may need special care or re-treatment over the years to retain their appearance. Bidders should be aware that Estimates assume that gemstones may have been subjected to such treatments. A number of laboratories issue certificates that give more detailed Descriptions of gemstones. However there may not be consensus between different laboratories on the degrees, or types of treatment for any particular gemstone. In the event that Bonhams has been given or has obtained certificates for any Lot in the Sale these certificates will be disclosed in the Catalogue. Although, as a matter of policy, Bonhams endeavours to provide certificates from recognised laboratories for certain gemstones, it is not feasible to obtain certificates for each Lot. In the event that no certificate is published in the Catalogue, Bidders should assume that the gemstones may have been treated. Neither Bonhams nor the Seller accepts any liability for contradictions or differing certificates obtained by Buyers on any Lots subsequent to the Sale.

Estimated Weights If a stone(s) weight appears within the body of the Description in capital letters, the stone(s) has been unmounted and weighed by Bonhams. If the weight of the stone(s) is stated to be approximate and does not appear in capital letters, the stone(s) has been assessed by us within its/their settings, and the stated weight is a statement of our opinion only. This information is given as a guide and Bidders should satisfy themselves with regard to this information as to its accuracy.

Signatures 1. A diamond brooch, by Kutchinsky When the maker’s name appears in the title, in Bonhams’ opinion the piece is by that maker.

2. A diamond brooch, signed Kutchinsky Has a signature that, in Bonhams’ opinion, is authentic but may contain gemstones that are not original, or the piece may have been altered.

3. A diamond brooch, mounted by Kutchinsky Has been created by the jeweller, in Bonhams’ opinion, but using stones or designs supplied by the client.

20. PHOTOGRAPHS

Explanation of Catalogue Terms• “Bill Brandt”: in our opinion a work by the artist.• “Attributed to Bill Brandt”: in our opinion probably a work by

the artist, but less certainty to authorship is expressed than in the preceding category.

• “Signed and/or titled and/or dated and/or inscribed”: in our opinion the signature and/or title and/or date and/or inscription are in the artist’s hand.

• “Signed and/or titled and/or dated and/or inscribed in another hand”: in our opinion the signature and/or title and/or date and/or inscription have been added by another hand.

Where the exact printing date is not known, but understood to be later, “printed later” will appear in the Lot Description.

• Unless otherwise specified, dimensions given are those of the piece of paper on which the image is printed, including any margins. Some photographs may appear in the Catalogue without margins illustrated.

• All photographs are sold unframed unless stated in the Lot Description.

21. PICTURES

Explanation of Catalogue Terms The following terms used in the Catalogue have the following meanings but are subject to the general provisions relating to Descriptions contained in the Contract for Sale:• “Jacopo Bassano”: in our opinion a work by the artist.

• “Attributed to Jacopo Bassano”: in our opinion probably a work by the artist but less certainty as to authorship is expressed than in the preceding category;

• “Studio/Workshop of Jacopo Bassano”: in our opinion a work by an unknown hand in a studio of the artist which may or may not have been executed under the artist’s direction;

• “Circle of Jacopo Bassano”: in our opinion a work by a hand closely associated with a named artist but not necessarily his pupil;

22. PORCELAIN AND GLASS

Damage and Restoration For your guidance, in our Catalogues we detail, as far as practicable, recorded all significant defects, cracks and restoration. Such practicable Descriptions of damage cannot be definitive, and in providing Condition Reports, we cannot Guarantee that there are no other defects present which have not been mentioned. Bidders should satisfy themselves by inspection, as to the condition of each Lot. Please see the Contract for Sale printed in this Catalogue. Because of the difficulty in determining whether an item of glass has been repolished, in our Catalogues reference is only made to visible chips and cracks. No mention is made of repolishing, severe or otherwise.

23. VEHICLES

The Veteran Car Club of Great Britain Dating Plates and Certificates When mention is made of a Veteran Car Club Dating Plate or Dating Certificate in this Catalogue, it should be borne in mind that the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain using the services of Veteran Car Company Ltd, does from time to time, review cars already dated and, in some instances, where fresh evidence becomes available, the review can result in an alteration of date. Whilst the Club and Veteran Car Company Ltd make every effort to ensure accuracy, the date shown on the Dating Plate or Dating Certificate cannot be guaranteed as correct and intending purchasers should make their own enquiries as to the date of the car.

24. WINE

Lots which are lying under Bond and those liable to VAT may not be available for immediate collection.

Examining the wines It is occasionally possible to provide a pre-Sale tasting for larger parcels (as defined below). This is generally limited to more recent and everyday drinking wines. Please contact the department for details.

0It is not our policy to inspect every unopened case. In the case of wines older than 20 years the boxes will usually have been opened and levels and appearance noted in the Catalogue where necessary. You should make proper allowance for variations in ullage levels and conditions of corks, capsules and labels.

Corks and Ullages Ullage refers to the space between the base of the cork and the wine. Ullage levels for Bordeaux shaped bottles are only normally noted when below the neck and for Burgundy, Alsace, German and Cognac shaped bottles when greater than 4 centimetres (cm). Acceptable ullage levels increase with age; generally acceptable levels are as follows:

Under 15 years old – into neck or less than 4cm15 to 30 years old – top shoulder (ts) or up to 5cmOver 30 years old – high shoulder (hs) or up to 6cm

It should be noted that ullages may change between publication of the Catalogue and the Sale and that corks may fail as a result of transporting the wine. We will only accept responsibility for Descriptions of condition at the time of publication of the Catalogue and cannot accept responsibility for any loss resulting from failure of corks either before or after this point.

Options to buy parcels A parcel is a number of Lots of identical size of the same wine, bottle size and Description. The Buyer of any of these Lots has the option to accept some or all of the remaining Lots in the parcel at the same price, although such options will be at the Auctioneer’s sole discretion. Absentee Bidders are, therefore, advised to bid on the first Lot in a parcel.

Wines in Bond Wines lying in Bond are marked Δ. All Lots sold under Bond, and which the Buyer wishes to remain under Bond, will be invoiced without VAT or Duty on the Hammer Price. If the Buyer wishes to take the Lot as Duty paid, UK Excise Duty and VAT will be added to the Hammer Price on the invoice.

Buyers must notify Bonhams at the time of the sale whether they wish to take their wines under Bond or Duty paid. If a Lot is taken under Bond, the Buyer will be responsible for all VAT, Duty, clearance and other charges that may be payable thereon.

Buyers outside the UK must be aware that any forwarding agent appointed to export their purchases must have a movement certificate for Lots to be released under Bond.

You should be alert to this possibility of changes and ask in advance of bidding if there have been any.

Under this contract the Seller’s liability in respect of the quality of the Lot, it’s fitness for any purpose and its conformity with any Description is limited. You are strongly advised to examine the Lot for yourself and/or obtain an independent examination of it before you buy it.

1 THE CONTRACT

1.3 The Seller sells the Lot as the principal to the Contract for Sale, such contract being made between the Seller and you through Bonhams which acts in the sole capacity as the Seller’s agent and not as an additional principal. However, if the Catalogue states that Bonhams sells the Lot as principal, or such a statement is made by an announcement by the Auctioneer, or by a notice at the Sale, or an insert in the Catalogue, then Bonhams is the Seller for the purposes of this agreement.

Any statement or representation other than that part of the Entry referred to in paragraph 2.1.5 (together with any express alteration to it as referred to in paragraph 2.1.5), including any Description or Estimate, whether made orally or in writing, including in the Catalogue or on Bonhams’ Website, or by conduct, or otherwise, and whether by or on behalf of the Seller or Bonhams and whether made prior to or during the Sale, is not part of the Contractual Description upon which the Lot is sold.

3.7 Where a number of Lots have been knocked down to you, any monies we receive from you will be applied firstly pro-rata to pay the Purchase Price of each Lot and secondly pro-rata to pay all amounts due to Bonhams.

4 COLLECTION OF THE LOT

4.1 Subject to any power of the Seller or us to refuse to release the Lot to you, once you have paid to us, in cleared funds, everything due to the Seller and to us, we will release the Lot to you or as you may direct us in writing. The Lot will only be released on production of a buyer collection document, obtained from our cashier’s office.

4.2 You must collect and remove the Lot at your own expense by the date and time specified in the Notice to Bidders, or if no date is specified, by 4.30pm on the seventh day after the Sale.

4.3 For the period referred to in paragraph 4.2, the Lot can be collected from the address referred to in the Notice to Bidders for collection on the days and times specified in the Notice to Bidders.

4.4 If you have not collected the Lot by the date specified in the Notice to Bidders, you authorise us, acting as your agent and on your behalf, to enter into a contract (the “Storage Contract”) with the Storage Contractor for the storage of the Lot on the then current standard terms and conditions agreed between Bonhams and the Storage Contractor (copies of which are available on request). If the Lot is stored at our premises storage fees at our current daily rates (currently a minimum of £3 plus VAT per Lot per day) will be payable from the expiry of the period referred to in paragraph 4.2. These storage fees form part of our Expenses.

4.5 Until you have paid the Purchase Price and any Expenses in full the Lot will either be held by us as agent on behalf of the Seller or held by the Storage Contractor as agent on behalf of the Seller and ourselves on the terms contained in the Storage Contract.

4.6 You undertake to comply with the terms of any Storage Contract and in particular to pay the charges (and all costs of moving the Lot into storage) due under any Storage Contract. You acknowledge and agree that you will not be able to collect the Lot from the Storage Contractor’s premises until you have paid the Purchase Price, any Expenses and all charges due under the Storage Contract.

4.7 You will be wholly responsible for packing, handling and transport of the Lot on collection and for complying with all import or export regulations in connection with the Lot.

4.8 You will be wholly responsible for any removal, storage, or other charges for any Lot not removed in accordance with paragraph 4.2, payable at our current rates, and any Expenses we incur (including any charges due under the Storage Contract), all of which must be paid by you on demand and in any event before any collection of the Lot by you or on your behalf.

5 STORING THE LOT

We agree to store the Lot until the earlier of your removal of the Lot or until the time and date set out in the Notice to Bidders, on the Sale Information Page or at the back of the catalogue (or if no date is specified, by 4.30pm on the seventh day after the Sale) and, subject to paragraphs 6 and 10, to be responsible as bailee to you for damage to or the loss or destruction of the Lot (notwithstanding that it is not your property before payment of the Purchase Price). If you do not collect the Lot before the time and date set out in the Notice to Bidders (or if no date is specified, by 4.30pm on the seventh day after the Sale) we may remove the Lot to another location, the details of which will usually be set out in the relevant section of the Catalogue. If you have not paid for the Lot in accordance with paragraph 3, and the Lot is moved to any third party’s premises, the Lot will be held by such third party strictly to Bonhams’ order and we will retain our lien over the Lot until we have been paid in full in accordance with paragraph 3.

6 RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE LOT

APPENDIX 2

BUYER’S AGREEMENT

IMPORTANT: These terms may be changed in advance of the Sale of the Lot to you, by the setting out of different terms in the Catalogue for the Sale and/or by placing an insert in the Catalogue and/or by notices at the Sale venue and/or by oral announcements before and during the Sale at the Sale venue. You should be alert to this possibility of changes and ask in advance of bidding if there have been any.

1 THE CONTRACT

1.1 These terms govern the contract between Bonhams personally and the Buyer, being the person to whom a Lot has been knocked down by the Auctioneer.

1.2 The Definitions and Glossary contained in Appendix 3 to the Catalogue for the Sale are incorporated into this agreement and a separate copy can also be provided by us on request. Where words and phrases which are defined in the List of Definitions are used in this agreement, they are printed in italics. Reference is made in this agreement to information printed in the Notice to Bidders, printed in the Catalogue for the Sale, and where such information is referred to it is incorporated into this agreement.

1.3 Except as specified in paragraph 4 of the Notice to Bidders the Contract for Sale of the Lot between you and the Seller is made on the fall of the Auctioneer’s hammer in respect of the Lot, when it is knocked down to you. At that moment a separate contract is also made between you and Bonhams on the terms in this Buyer’s Agreement.

1.4 We act as agents for the Seller and are not answerable or personally responsible to you for any breach of contract or other default by the Seller, unless Bonhams sells the Lot as principal.

1.5 Our personal obligations to you are governed by this agreement and we agree, subject to the terms below, to the following obligations:

1.5.1 we will, until the date and time specified in the Notice to Bidders or otherwise notified to you, store the Lot in accordance with paragraph 5;

1.5.2 subject to any power of the Seller or us to refuse to release the Lot to you, we will release the Lot to you in accordance with paragraph 4 once you have paid to us, in cleared funds, everything due to us and the Seller;

1.5.3 we will provide guarantees in the terms set out in paragraphs 9 and 10.

1.6 We do not make or give and do not agree to make or give any contractual promise, undertaking, obligation, Guarantee, warranty, representation of fact in relation to any Description of the Lot or any Estimate in relation to it, nor of the accuracy or completeness of any Description or Estimate which may have been made by us or on our behalf or by or on behalf of the Seller (whether made orally or in writing, including in the Catalogue or on Bonhams’ Website, or by conduct, or otherwise), and whether made before or after this agreement or prior to or during the Sale. No such Description or Estimate is incorporated into this agreement between you and us. Any such Description or Estimate, if made by us or on our behalf, was (unless Bonhams itself sells the Lot as principal) made as agent on behalf of the Seller.

3.3 All payments to us must be made in the currency in which the Sale was conducted, using, unless otherwise agreed by us in writing, one of the methods of payment set out in the Notice to Bidders.

8 CLAIMS BY OTHER PERSONS IN RESPECT OF THE LOT

8.1 Whenever it becomes apparent to us that the Lot is the subject of a claim by someone other than you and other than the Seller (or that such a claim can reasonably be expected to be made), we may, at our absolute discretion, deal with the Lot in any manner which appears to us to recognise the legitimate interests of ourselves and the other parties involved and lawfully to protect our position and our legitimate interests.

12.3 If either party to this agreement is prevented from performing that party’s respective obligations under this agreement by circumstances beyond its reasonable control or if performance of its obligations would by reason of such circumstances give rise to a significantly increased financial cost to it, that party will not, for so long as such circumstances prevail, be required to perform such obligations. This paragraph does not apply to the obligations imposed on you by paragraph 3.

12.4 Any notice or other communication to be given under this agreement must be in writing and may be delivered by hand or sent by first class post or air mail or fax transmission (if to Bonhams marked for the attention of the Company Secretary), to the address or fax number of the relevant party given in the Contract Form (unless notice of any change of address is given in writing).

10.3.2 Unless you buy the Lot as a Consumer, in any circumstances where we are liable to you in respect of a Lot, or any act, omission, statement, representation in respect of it, or this agreement or its performance, and whether in damages, for an indemnity or contribution or for a restitutionary remedy or in any way whatsoever, our liability will be limited to payment of a sum which will not exceed by way of maximum the amount of the Purchase Price of the Lot plus Buyer’s Premium (less any sum you may be entitled to recover from the Seller) irrespective in any case of the nature, volume or source of any loss or damage alleged to be suffered or sum claimed as due, and irrespective of whether the liability arises from negligence, other tort, breach of contract, statutory duty, bailee’s duty, a restitutionary claim or otherwise.

11 BOOKS MISSING TEXT OR ILLUSTRATIONS

Where the Lot is made up wholly of a Book or Books and any Book does not contain text or illustrations (in either case referred to as a “non-conforming Lot”), we undertake a personal responsibility for such a non-conforming Lot in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, if:

the original invoice was made out by us to you in respect of the Lot and that invoice has been paid; and

you notify us in writing as soon as reasonably practicable after you have become aware that the Lot is or may be a non-conforming Lot, and in any event within 20 days after the Sale (or such longer period as we may agree in writing) that the Lot is a non-conforming Lot; and

within 20 days of the date of the relevant Sale (or such longer period as we may agree in writing) you return the Lot to us in the same condition as it was at the time of the Sale, accompanied by written evidence that the Lot is a non-conforming Lot and details of the Sale and Lot number sufficient to identify the Lot.

but not if:

the Entry in the Catalogue in respect of the Lot indicates that the rights given by this paragraph do not apply to it; or

the Entry in the Catalogue in respect of the Lot reflected the then accepted general opinion of scholars and experts or fairly indicated that there was a conflict of such opinion; or

it can be established that the Lot is a non-conforming Lot only by means of a process not generally accepted for use until after the date on which the Catalogue was published or by means of a process which it was unreasonable in all the circumstances for us to have employed; or

the Lot comprises atlases, maps, autographs, manuscripts, extra illustrated books, music or periodical publications; or

the Lot was listed in the Catalogue under “collections” or “collections and various” or the Lot was stated in the Catalogue to comprise or contain a collection, issue or Books which are undescribed or the missing text or illustrations are referred to or the relevant parts of the Book contain blanks, half titles or advertisements.

If we are reasonably satisfied that a Lot is a non- conforming Lot, we will (as principal) purchase the Lot from you and you will transfer the title to the Lot in question to us, with full title guarantee, free from any liens, charges, encumbrances and adverse claims and we will pay to you an amount equal to the sum of the Purchase Price and Buyer’s Premium paid by you in respect of the Lot.

The benefit of paragraph 10 is personal to, and incapable of assignment by, you and if you sell or otherwise dispose of your interest in the Lot, all rights and benefits under this paragraph will cease.

12 MISCELLANEOUS

Any such waiver will not affect our ability subsequently to enforce any right arising under this agreement.

12.3 If either party to this agreement is prevented from performing that party’s respective obligations under this agreement by circumstances beyond its reasonable control or if performance of its obligations would by reason of such circumstances give rise to a significantly increased financial cost to it, that party will not, for so long as such circumstances prevail, be required to perform such obligations. This paragraph does not apply to the obligations imposed on you by paragraph 3.

12.4 Any notice or other communication to be given under this agreement must be in writing and may be delivered by hand or sent by first class post or air mail or fax transmission (if to Bonhams marked for the attention of the Company Secretary), to the address or fax number of the relevant party given in the Contract Form (unless notice of any change of address is given in writing). It is the responsibility of the sender of the notice or communication to ensure that it is received in a legible form within any applicable time period.

12.12 Where this agreement confers an immunity from, and/or an exclusion or restriction of, the responsibility and/or liability of Bonhams, it will also operate in favour and for the benefit of Bonhams’ holding company and the subsidiaries of such holding company and the successors and assigns of Bonhams and of such companies and of any officer, employee and agent of Bonhams and such companies, each of whom will be entitled to rely on the relevant immunity and/or exclusion and/or restriction within and for the purposes of Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999, which enables the benefit of a contract to be extended to a person who is not a party to the contract, and generally at law.

13 GOVERNING LAW
